Wright Eclipse Urban SN58 BYP appears to be in use by this operator. Saw it today on scholars service 151 which is usually the haunt of the 14-reg Versas. It is still in full Lothian livery with fleetnames removed and was originally fleetnumber 163 with Lothian.

Can anyone please direct me to where I can get a list of annual passenger numbers by route number for GNE, Arriva and Stagecoach?

I came across this site (a bit by accident really!), but it might be of interest to some members: www.busmiles.uk

Its very similar to the idea behind railmiles.me for trains, but it uses bustimes to work out mileage on your bus journey and gives you some nice stats about what you've travelled on etc. 

It's in beta at the moment, but I was given an invite shortly after signing up and joining their Discord chat.

Quick question more out of curiosity than anything.

Which way is the route 50 taking now they've closed it for safety reasons. I think they should keep it open for buses and cyclists. There is currently no diversion for cyclists without using Boldon bank!

I’ve noticed that the allocation of Prince Bishops vehicles on the 60 during the evening seems to have stopped. Permanent move? Must say I’ve never been a fan of Intentionally allocating the wrong branded vehicle on a branded route. 
Has there been any other changes to evening allocations?

Out of curiosity, how much would it cost DCC, Nexus etc... to remove unused bus stops and shelters.

Does anyone know what at Redcar is tracking as 7609? At the minute 7609 has 2 ticket machines one at Blyth (the correct one) & one at Redcar (unless it can magically teleport between the X11 to Newcastle & 63 to Middlesbrough which is impossible it's not 7609)

Saw Solo 2837 NIS on late Friday afternoon sporting the beginnings of a new livery. Under streetlights, it looked a bit like Nexus grey, with no sign of any Quorum logos.. Presumably a work-in-progress.

Is anyone any good with hanover? How do you get top line bigger than botton line on front and how do you upload logos into it?
